Supervisor Gould reported balance OIL
hand of S1,179. The expense was $5l5
$3.50, of 1t was paid to the assessor &. G
Waters. If Mr., Waters is elected mayor
he will lose money by the operation al
he could undoubtedly get his old office

easier after tonight. for they will know
who are the chosen standard bearers o

to serve. No lack of candidates today
1t is Samuel Gault. not Gould. who il
the prohibition candidate for alderman il
the First ward Sam has enough Irisl
in him to make him stubborn, but hi
faiiings generally lean TO virtues side
The writer has fought Mr.. g. politically
for thirty years, always knew where t.
find him, and respected him for his out
spoken declaration of principles. San
may not he elected. but it will not TAX
one iota from his manhood if he is no
| chosen.

Rock Island for city clerk, Harry Abel
is web and favorablv known in this city
aud would run well for The same p9si

charge of the books of the city, an ole
resident, and deserving % the office
! Although Harry does not plead poverty
| he does not consider 1t a crime to b.
poor, and being Il workingman himself
| will undoubtedly receive the votes q
